I Became the Student Council President of the Academy City

20 – Boyhood ~Let’s run away~

The bandits locked me in a carriage.

Maybe it’s because he left a scar on his bald head?

They threw me into the wagon and chained me to my hands and feet and even to my neck.

At this point, I couldn’t even move myself.

As I lay down on the wagon, I looked out and saw the scenery passing by at high speed.

As the uneasiness grew in my heart in proportion to that, I clenched my teeth and tried to swallow the welling tears.

I rubbed one cheek with my chained hand.

‘It hurts…….’

The cheek that had been slapped earlier was particularly bitter.

.

.

.

“Hey, we’ve arrived.”

How far did he go while enduring the displeased gazes of the thieves who rode with him in the wagon?

The skinny man who played the coachman approached with a smirk.

“Come on, let’s go quickly!”

“Ugh…!”

I was forced to get off the carriage by the bald man’s hand.

Thanks to getting down to the floor without even shoes, my feet were already sore.

“Hmm? Damn it, it’s snowing!”

“Somehow the days are cold. It’s a bit early this year.”

Suddenly, the snow that fell from the sky caught their attention.

The snow is getting stronger, so it looks like it’s going to be a heavy snowfall.

I took advantage of that opportunity to quickly look around.

‘In the mountains… ?’

It was dark and snowing, so I couldn’t see closely, but it seemed like a hideout deep in the mountains.

From afar, the cry of an animal can be heard, and the chilling wind heightens the ominous feeling.

The thieves took me, trembling with anxiety, into the dark mountains.

Abandoning the carriage and going deeper, they stopped in front of a naturally formed cave.

“Now, this is the hideout where the boss is.”

“Let’s go in.”

“Hehehe, I’m looking forward to it.”

I stopped and protested weakly at the fear rising from under my feet, but they pulled the chains and dragged me by force.

“Hey, we’re here.”

“I brought the guy the boss said!”

“Oh! You guys are here!”

The inside of the cave was bigger than I thought.

Did they artificially expand a naturally formed cave?

The magic stone lamps and metal facilities hung here and there made it look like a fortress, not a cave.

There were so many thieves inside the cave, there must have been at least hundreds of them, and all of them greeted us as we entered with swords at their waists.

The thugs, dressed in rugged and sloppy outfits, chatted with the kidnapper for a while, then looked this way and sent a blatant gaze.

“Is this the bitch?”

“Hwiyu~ This is more than I thought.”

“Anyway, the boss also looks for things like ghosts.”

Most of the people who looked this way sent similar glances, but some of them contained a slight pity, which made my anxiety even stronger.

And one of the men who gave such pitiful glances, a man with glasses, took a look at me and the kidnappers and scribbled something on a piece of paper in his arms.

“Hmm. Confirmed. You guys are the last.”

“Oops. We’re too late.”

“Because you guys were the furthest away.”

“But the boss hates waiting. I’ll have to pay attention.”

The scar man, who was fixing his clothes with a nervous expression, smiled and looked down at me.

“You’re really good too. Even if you get caught, you’re the last one to get caught.”

“Well, the boss won’t be too angry. Maybe he’s enjoying the wait since he’s the first noble to taste it.”

“Oh, what. Are we the first nobles?”

“Of course. All the abducted nobles are going to be handed over to business partners. This kid was also stolen by the boss.”

“Haha! The boss is really big.”

The bald head, who burst into laughter once, smiled at me, and I reflexively averted my gaze.

“Hehehe, if the boss gets tired of using it, I’ll use it to my heart’s content. Don’t worry and wait.”

“By the way, why does his face look like this?”

At that time, the man with glasses asked.

Looking at one cheek stained red, he frowned, then looked at the man with the scar and sent an explanatory look.

“Uhm, that’s it…”

Scar As he listened to someone else’s explanation, Nam let out a deep sigh and immediately raised his glasses.

“…I understand. The boss is waiting for you, so let’s go.”

The man with glasses, who had been looking at this side with unknown eyes, soon turned his eyes away and looked at the documents.

───

“Boss! I brought the bitch you said!”

The man was once huge.

The man with messy hair, with a house-sized body, looked more like a bandit than a thief.

No, considering hideouts are among the mountains, isn’t it really a bandit?

“Ohhh! Finally here!”

Scar He turned around brightly at the call of others and immediately greeted them with both hands wide open.

“Welcome! Come on! This way!”

The jewelry decorated with various jewels makes a loud sound as he walks.

“This bitch, boss, said it was difficult because she was more rebellious than I thought!”

The boss, who had been approaching with a smile at the bald man’s words, suddenly stopped walking.

“…Rebellious?”

At the same time, his gaze landed on my cheek.

The boss quickly lost his expression and approached.

“…Who said this?”

“Two bosses?”

The bald head with a shaky blue tone hesitated and broke into a cold sweat.

“He.”

“That guy.”

“Wait, wait! I didn’t do it on purpose! That bitch has a lot of resistance, so I had no choice but to…!!”

A scarred man and a skinny man, who were already far away, pointed their fingers at him, and the bald man who was being pointed out was very embarrassed and started talking gibberish.

But excuses are short-lived.

“…Keep it off!”

“Hick!”

In an instant, a light flashed, and blood gushed from the bald man’s neck.

At the same time, the boss, holding a large ax in his hand, uttered an angry voice.

“You dare touch my things? If you want to die, shouldn’t you have told me beforehand?”

“Save, save…”

“Hey, take that trash away.”

“Okay boss.”

“And don’t let anyone into this room for a while. I’ll tell the underboss about the reward for this job.”

The two men disappeared in an instant, taking the bald man who had fallen while spurting blood, leaving only the boss and me in the room.

After a while, a hand as large as the lid of a pot approached me, and I reflexively took a step back.

“Hmm?”

“Oh, don’t come.”

“Hahaha! It’s okay. You’re not that scary.”

However, unlike his words, there was a sense of incongruity that could not be hidden in his benevolent expression.

“Me, let me go now. If you touch me, the kite family will not stand still.”

“The Yan family? Fuhahaha!”

What is funny?

I trembled with fear as I watched the boss start laughing like crazy.

“We also kidnapped people while looking at them.”

“That, what is that…”

“Little boy, I think you don’t know because you’re still young. The Yeon family aren’t low-ranking nobles who only step out for collateral.”

With that said, the boss continued his explanation.

“It’s a Yeon family that has influence over the entire empire, but isn’t it a place where the level is low enough to mobilize troops for collateral? /B> Decided to do something.”

“That can’t be…”

“In addition, they spread the kidnapped personnel all over Heo Island so that the search party is hard to find. Of course, there are fake hideouts everywhere. Perhaps the search party is searching for empty houses by now.”

I couldn’t bear to open my mouth at the boss’s words.

According to him, the chances of the search team finding this place are extremely low.

How did you see my expression like that?

He immediately went on with a mean smile.

“In short, no one will come to rescue you.”

At the same time, right before his hand touched mine—

Kwaaaaa!!

“What, what…!?”

The entire cave shook with a sudden roar.

As soon as the boss, who quickly captured his expression, held the ax in his hand, one of his subordinates entered the room and said to him.

“Boss! Intruder! Intruder has arrived!”

“What do you mean! This place wouldn’t have left any trace! An intruder!”

“I don’t know! You need to get out of here!”

“Damn it! How many intruders!”

The boss, looking flustered, questioned his subordinates while sweeping away the wealth in the room.

“About 10 people!”

Then, at the answer that came back, he immediately stopped sweeping his hand and looked back at him.

“What? About 10 people? Are you saying that’s only about that?”

“Yes!

“You idiot! Hundreds of people can’t stop just 10 people!”

After hearing the number of intruders, the boss’s expression became much lighter.

A subordinate who had been slapped with an expression that showed even a sense of composure at first glance cried out as if he was unfair.

“Yes, but the intruders are insanely strong!”

“Tsk!

With that said, the boss kicked out his subordinates and started collecting his belongings again, then suddenly grabbed me.

“Follow me!”

“Ugh…!”

Follow him while letting out a light moan at the violent hand.

Then, contrary to what he said to his subordinate, the boss did not go outside, approached the wall in the corner, and banged it hard several times with his hand.

“What the hell…”

“Keuhehe. You’re lucky, kid. I’ll treat you in a little while. I’ll have to escape from here first.”

I was astonished at the boss’s words.

“…Didn’t I tell you that subordinates have a chance?”

“Sounds silly! An intruder who enters without hesitation into a hideout with hundreds of people cannot be weak!”

That’s right.

The boss judged with extremely common sense and made the choice to run away.

While making the terrible choice of using his subordinates as discards.

And when I realized his intentions, I expressed disgust toward him.

“…You are trash.”

To betray a trusted subordinate without hesitation.

“Keuhehe. Talk as much as you want. I’ll run away anyway!”

Then the boss pulls me in with a strong force.

I forcibly moved my body due to the strong pressure I felt in my neck. Before long, I started going out of the cave through the emergency exit that appeared on one side of the wall.

“…This is more dangerous than I thought.”

The boss, who had been walking at a brisk pace, broke into a cold sweat at the sound of a continuous roar in the cave and began to speed up even more.

‘Please someone…… !’

Just like this, the boss runs away.

And if he succeeds in escaping, there is no hope for me.

I prayed earnestly with an anxious heart.

‘Someone please help me…’ … !”

At the same time, a light could be seen in the distance.

“Exit!”

The boss, who confirmed it with me, stepped out of the cave with a bright red color–

Quaaaaang──!!

“Ke-heo–!”

At the same time, it flew far away with great power.

I knocked down several trees and the boss disappeared into the dust. I was taken aback by the sudden situation and lost my support and started to fall to the ground.

“……?”

As I closed my eyes reflexively on my slowly leaning body, I immediately felt a warm hand on my waist.

“…Sorry.”

I opened my eyes wide and lifted my head at the familiar voice that I heard before long.

“Ah, ah…”

A familiar outfit.

A familiar face.

I felt tears welling up involuntarily.

Why did he appear just now?

Resentment, anger, relief, gratitude, etc.

I looked at him, feeling all sorts of emotions welling up in my heart.

As if he had been outside for a long time, his shoulders were covered with snow, and he wrapped his arms around my waist with careful hands.

“…Mister.”

“I’m so sorry I’m late.”

After saying that in a warm tone, the young boy put his hand on one of his red cheeks and spoke coldly.

“Who did it?”

“That…”

“No, I’m sorry. I don’t need to remind you.”

The boy who hurt him by untangling his hands from his waist and loosening the cloak draped over his body, put it on me and whispered softly.

“Wait a minute. I’ll fix it soon.”

At the same time, his golden eyes staggered to his boss, who stood up.
